The Magnificient Doge's Palace and Prisons by Venice Events

Tour Itinerary

The Doges Palace or Palazzo Ducale is a magnificent combination of Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance architecture, the centre of the Venetian empire and the seat of the Venetian government. Once the residence of the Doge, the elected ruler of the city.

Listen to our informative guide as you pass through its lavish chambers, which display masterpieces by Tintoretto, Titan, Veronese and Bellini. Hear about the different roles played by the Doge and his counsellors, be entertained by our talented guide and learn about the history of the Venetian legends as you walk through the eerie narrow passageways towards the prison cells whilst learning about the prisoners, and of course Casanova, perhaps Venice's most famous and intriguing escape.
